When I still on Humira , I remember the nurse saying most UCers flare is certain seasons...I have not really noticed a trend. Does anyone know what those seasons are? Do you flare at the same time of year every year? Does the weather make a difference?

I tend to flare mostly in the spring and fall. I have allergies and when my allergies act up so does my Uc.

So far, only after childbirth! I made it through changing seasons, some pretty stressful situations, and a couple of pretty nasty colds. But, we'll see as time goes on.

so far only at my initial DX which was mild and pregnancy.
I honestly dont know if I could go through another pregnancy once I get back in full remission. I would be so worried that I would flare again.

I tend to flare late summer/fall...... My worst times have been December though. Pretty sure that I read some research somewhere that said a high percentage flare in fall/winter.

Most of my bad flares have been in winter, and also start around the time I get my period. Actually I was flaring around this time last year as well.

My flares are almost always directly related to stress. After I've experienced a lot of stress, either at work, or emotional, I can always count on a flare creeping up.
